The Bad News: After 15 days we have decided to cancel the Kickstarter campaign for Dead Crusade. It has not been an easy decision to pull the project from Kickstarter, but we do not see the project getting funded at this point and would prefer to not mislead our fans and backers. A lot of sacrifice and effort went into making this Kickstarter possible, and we would prefer to not drag things out or have the project look bad.

There are a number of reasons we believe the Kickstarter did not succeed, and I wanted to take a moment to explain a few in detail.

The Video: There is a saying for Kickstarter projects that if you do not immediately impress or captivate the viewer within 10 seconds, there is a good chance they are unlikely to finis...

We would like to recognize all of the sites which have featured Dead Crusade since we announced our Kickstarter. We appreciate their coverage and wanted to express our thanks! If you’ve seen Dead Crusade mentioned on a website not listed below, please let us know in the Comments!

“There has never been a game that properly fuses both genres together”, according to Scott Petty, creative director of Aesthetic Games Inc, the makers of Dead Crusade. A game that features amerciless fusion of medieval fantasy and apocalyptic horror.

Let it be said that the story setting, the 14th century Black Death pandemic wiping out 30–60% of Europe’s population – is a perfect setting for horror. Not only do the death-estimates run between 350–375 million people. The Plague’s symptoms are strikingly similar to zombie-like features.

It is a rather obscure observation, and a very exciting one, that the grossness of it all is meticulously well captured due to this game’s technology – thanks to EPIC games.

We’ve posted a new video on YouTube which showcases more Unreal 4 environments, as well as a bit more Gameplay and Combat footage which we built while we were still working in Unreal Engine 3. We feel it’s important to show this material, even though it will take some time to revamp and migrate this into Unreal 4.

Dead Crusade is a refreshing take on the Zombie Apocalypse. Dead Crusade is a medieval survival horror RPG that will take you to Medieval Europe in a time of great upheaval and strife as an unstoppable plague tears the world apart. Travel through the cities, countryside, and cemeteries of Medieval Europe across multiple expansive campaigns as you battle hordes of the undead, and avoid becoming infected with the plague yourself. Check out our unique approach to this genre with realistic settings and developed characters.
